Just a few days shy of its 100th birthday, the famed hotel is reopening on Dec. 3 and is booked solid until after the first of the year, following a $400 million, two-year renovation.

The new, smaller hotel – part of a complex that includes stores and apartments – will have 282 guest rooms, down from 805 rooms and suites. Daily prices range from $725 for a standard room to more than $8,500 for the Royal Plaza Suite.
